Hiring Needs

There are many reasons we’ve thrived over the past 160 years. Great people doing great work is a given. So is outstanding client service at a fair price. Having consistently interesting work to do tends, however, to set us apart.

Our associate-level attorneys work with our experienced attorneys from the very beginning. Associates at Hemenway & Barnes get more responsibility earlier in their careers, better-quality contact with clients, and a variety of professional development opportunities. We think our low turnover rate speaks for itself.

Our professional and administrative staff are critical to the firm’s success. We emphasize collaboration and teamwork and are committed to professional development. The firm is small enough to know everybody’s name, yet large enough to continually provide new and challenging opportunities.

Life Work

Hard work is noticed, appreciated and rewarded at H&B, but that’s not all we expect our people to do. We encourage balance among family, community and our profession.

As a result, many of our attorneys and professionals serve in their respective hometown governments, sit on the boards of nonprofit organizations and are otherwise actively involved in their communities.
